Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews

I suspect we probably also create our own reality on some of these things. Ricky is constantly talking us down saying nobody gives any of our players credit for anything. What comes first the chicken or the egg? He’s hardly warm and engaging with the media in press conference. Why would the media d...

Ok, ok, I apologise for calling dubby dumb, I honestly didn’t mean HE is dumb, I meant he says a lot of dumb things. I know that’s not what I wrote, and I could be more selective with my language, so yes, that’s on me, and I’m sorry. But he DOES say a lot of stupid, ill-informed, often quite bigoted...

Guess we'll see how desperate they are.

Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews

Just coming in late on this one, but there's no way I'd change our starting pack, I wouldn't bring Whitehead in for Houskings, and I wouldn't even shift Smithies out of the 13.

Horse comes onto the bench in place of Guler for sure, and if Whitehead really is good to go and fit, he can replace Saulo.

Re: Through green eyes 2024

I feel like there might be an unconscious bias against Danny Levi in these weekly ratings. I feel like there might be a conscious bias for Danny Levi when you give him 3 points every week Billy, even when not a single other person gives him any points as he’s clearly not the best on field. Maybe lo...

Re: 2024 Round 2 v Tigers: Game Day

Honestly Whitehead can't just walk into the starting 13. Hosking's has been brilliant . He has to retain the right side 2nd row position. Smithies is our lock , which means Horse moves to the front row. Guler to drop out. We are developing into a good team , we have strong platform with our forward...

Re: 2024 Round 2 v Tigers: Game Day

Couldn't even put 40 on that mob.. embarrassing Definitely could’ve put more on them, and definitely could’ve put more on the knights last week, however I have to say there was no time in that match (even when the tigers got back to 14-12) where I started to get jittery or was feeling nervous.

Re: 2024 Round 2 v Tigers: Game Day

Two weeks in a row I’ve been excited to watch the game, and both weeks I haven’t been disappointed. This truly does seem like a new era of Raiders football I honestly don’t care if this team, playing this way, doesn’t even up making the 8. I just love the way they’re going about they’re craft in bot...
